I am referring to neonazi type groups.And in any case killing one person rarely gets rid of a problem when it is on the global scale.

Dont get me wrong this is good news indeed but there is still much to be done and we dont yet know what effect Bin Laden having been killing is going to have on his followers it may only in courage them.

I have a very close friend who is an officer in military intelligence and is deployed in this region normally he is able to send me an e-mail every few weeks for the last month or so I have heard nothing from him which has made me wonder if something major was up operations wise.

I really hope they release photos of his dead body........We deserve it.

Al Jazeera has a guy on who actually met him before. Very Interesting conversation.

If he was zapped a week ago?
Why no stuff on the followers websites and such?


I'd think they would have went Ape over this.

someone got some very good intel or the price on his head was just too tempting
If it is true all his little minions are going to be worried ,if he can be found and killed then anyone of them can be!

It's always been just a matter of time.
You can run.
But you can't hide for ever.

Obama making his speech now.

It has just been confirmed that he is dead.

Well I must say that this is great news. Good job to those who pulled this off. Let's just hope there is little to no counter attack by Al-queda.

Well, I'm glad it happened before the 10th anniversary of 9/11. It's also important to remember that Bin Laden was responsible for the Cole bombing and the destruction of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

However, by this time tomorrow Republicans and Democrats will probably be arguing over whether Obama gets credit or some other such nonsense.

Obama deserves some credit, I'll give it to him. Damn glad he followed through on the intel, and according to his speech, US Special Forces went in and got him, not some drone.


Total awesome. Yeah, the Islamists won't like this, he'll be a martyr, so what. If someone takes his place, kill him too. I don't subscribe to the creedo "this won't change anything, we can't stop them so let's give up." Screw that. Take the fight to them and crush them.

I still remember all the flags and "Never Forget" messages you had on the front page of SubSim back then in 2001, Neal. I bet it sure feels good to still be around when OBL isn't.
